Teen sex 16

At some point following that incident, the younger girl left the other two behind at a Holly Hill motel and ran two blocks to Dollar General, where she asked an employee to call police.

Boland then took the two 17-year-olds to an Ormond Beach hotel where the group was confronted by a man looking for his 18-year-old daughter.

DAYTONA BEACH — A 19-year-old woman testified Tuesday that she was coerced when she was underage into an ongoing sexual relationship with a man in his 60s under threat to her home and livelihood.

Unbeknownst to the jury, Boland of South Daytona has a criminal history in Volusia County dating back more than 25 years, and was convicted in Massachusetts for arson.

Though Boland initially was “like a father figure,” the girl said, their interactions became “more like a love relationship.” Their sexual contact continued when she and two girls ages 14 and 17 ran away from the Polk County group home, she said.

Boland and Denise La Placa, 49, a roommate of Boland’s, picked up the girls outside the grandmother’s house and drove them to Boland’s Ormond Beach home, she said.

Over the next week, Boland rented rooms for the girls at multiple Daytona-area motels, where he supplied them with alcohol and engaged in sex with one of the 17-year-olds, according to the testimony of two witnesses.
